My beautiful best friend Z let me know that there is a Pt. 2 to the song “If I Die Young” that recently came out and, team, this is a blessed time to be alive. Truly.

You may remember the song “If I Die Young” by The Band Perry that released over a decade ago. We were all big fans. Or at least a lot of people were and I was one of them. Here’s a refresher — you’re going to need it to appreciate Pt. 2.

The Band Perry has since broken up but now Kimberly Perry has released the single “If I Die Young Pt. 2“. It’s the sequel I didn’t know I needed all these years later.

Hearing Pt. 2 felt like talking to myself as a teenager again. All those things I want to say to the girl who wrote tragic poems and romanticized pain.

For one lyrical comparison, this line from the original:
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I’ve had just enough time

Changes to:

The sharp knife of a short life, now I know there’s no
Such thing as enough time

As Z texted me this morning: “Please join me in getting super emotional about this updated version of ‘If I Die Young’.”

With Love,

Natalie
